Mary O’Rourke will be signing her autobiography

Mary O’Rourke will be signing copies of her autobiography at Dubray Books, 4 Shop St Saturday, November 10th at 3p.m. After that day of the count in Kenagh, I decided that I was going to write a book about my life. Not a high and mighty book how could it be but, an ordinary book, detailing my life in and out of politics over the years: one which would aim to shed some light on the key events of a long career in public life. Mary O ‘Rourke has been one of the most successful and influential women in Irish public life in a generation. In this memoir she writes, with remarkable candidness and humour, of personal and political events; of the many senior political figures with whom she worked, including Charles Haughey and Bertie Ahern; of her life with her beloved husband Enda; of her two dear Brians, both of whom died before their time; of her successes and disappointments. She does all this with honesty, energy and an absence of self-pity or self-justification. The book is like the woman herself: open, warm and frank.
